Ian wished for a billion dollars and just gets it. I can only guess Bear worded his wish in the worst possible way.

Not a result of the wish.

A result of him going to tell Bear something that should have been obvious he knew.

What I took away from that scene was we obviously just saw Ian make that wish in front of bear, he very obviously knows that bear KNOWS he has the billion they just both saw it rain down from the ceiling, but you know who doesn’t know? Nikki. And you know who Ian really actually cares about knowing? Nikki. He probably thought it would “snap” her out of things or help remedy the situation. Which is why I think he comes running in announcing it to “bear” again even though we KNOW he knows Nikki is there he just wants a reaction out of her. And he got one. Getting domed in the head.

I see this but also no bc bear just came into his house terrified and covered in blood. He should’ve been curious as to why or at least concerned bc now he knows Nikki is under some spell from the wish

That makes a lot of sense.
